alled the "Counter-Rocket", this "artillery and mortar cannon, based on the Navy's Phalanx, is used to shoot down incoming fire in Iraq." The Phalanx is basically a CIWS (close-in weapon system), equipped with a M61 rotary cannon that is capable of firing 4500-7000 rounds per minute, mounted in a self-contained turret.

The Fentex Cube basically consists of "a cube of (patent pending) multi-touch touchscreens allowing for a myriad of multi-dimensional games, puzzles, and whatnots manipulated by the swipe of your fingers.

Using tilt motions, the player moves a character through rooms that appear inside one of several cubes on a table. Each room is logically connected by a series of doors, though some doors lead nowhere (they are traps).

The player has 2 minutes to find the exit of each cube, leading the character into the entrance of the next..

Work is also being done to use invisible markers such that the cube itself appears entirely white to the naked eye.
